Alternative approach:
I imported the mails to my new mail hoster and just archived the mbox files just in case.
Can be done by installing a mail client temporarily to upload or some mail hosters provide an option to import from gmail (in my case that was proton)

(in my case that was proton) Doesn’t that fund Trump?

If I had an e-mail provider I’d be confident staying with for the next few decades, sure. But I don’t feel confident about it and it would just move my problem with old gmail e-mails to the next provider. And the next provider may not have a “takeout” system. Since Proton has encryption you have to use their client? I remember hearing about Proton bridge to connect to other clients, and it was supposedly clunky.
